Figured I would share my two newest additions, they just hatched yesterday morning. Three more clutches cooking, the next due to hatch in a few weeks, so curious if those will come out looking similar to these (just like dad).

After shed (has a slight kinked tail at the base it looks like, wondering if it's just developmental?)

Before shed (the little guy with less white is still working on getting his shed off, I'll take new pics of him once he does)

My understanding is that they sometimes hatch out with crooked tails like that and it stays that way, but I've never had one like that so can't comment from experience.

They look great though, big congrats!

Thanks :)

I'm wondering since he is the bigger of the two, if his tail just grew at a funny angle in the egg? It seems less bent than yesterday, it was practically sideways, but still at a bit of an angle. The other thing I was wondering, I've noticed a lot of peoples baby sikorae have red stripes down their backs, is that a juvenile thing? I don't see a heck of a lot red striped adults running around, so maybe it fades away as they get older?

Thank you Armen :)

Nibbler (his new name) finished shedding last night, and I took some pics this morning. It looks like they ate 5 small crickets, and both pooped, so far so good :) Kinky's tail is still pretty sideways, but his coloring makes up for it heh.

Those are both awesome little hatchlings. The coloration and pattern are superb. I love the red streaked ones, and the fact that they also have the "pied" shoulder blades is quite the bonus. Very nice! I hope they do well for you!

Thank you, I'm keeping my fingers crossed they do ok.

The next ones are due to hatch in about 15 days, can't wait to see what those look like, and another clutch 17 days after that (my female is very prolific >.<). I'll post pics of the other babies as they hatch.

I had another baby hatch yesterday morning, and so far he seems to look just like Nibbler. The other egg still hasn't hatched. I'm trying to be patient, but it's hard not to worry a bit. Hopefully the other guy comes out soon. Anyways, here's the new baby pic, it's name is Chomper, and then a comparison shot between him and 3 week old Nibbler (who has been upgraded out of the kritter keeper and has been living in a 12x12x18 planted vivarium).

They're pretty hard to find cb in the States as well, only a couple of breeders regularly offer them. The other baby popped out today, after much worrying on my part. I had already checked the incubator twice this morning, and nothing had changed. Then 3 hours later I find him out and roaming about the cup, and already beginning to shed! I'll get some pics of him once I get him transferred.

The new guy finally shed last night so I snapped some pics this morning. It's going to be hard to tell these two apart, I think the only real difference is the first one has some white on his head, and this one has more green. Next clutch is due to hatch in 2-3 weeks, I can't wait!

Thanks!! I saw the pictures of your beautiful little girl the other day, she's gorgeous! I'm hoping mine keep that neat red coloration like yours has. Now if only my web foots would lay fertile eggs >.>
